Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip
Some, but not all, mosquito species are attracted to minute quantities of a chemical called
octenol (1-OCTEN-3-OL). Each Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap comes with a Mega-Catch
Octenol Fragrance Strip. NOTE: When operating the PREMIER Trap indoors DO NOT USE a
Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip.
To install or replace the Octenol Fragrance Strip:
1. Ensure the power to your Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap is disconnected.
2. Unlock and remove the Lockable Door.
3. Remove the Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip from its pouch and be careful not
to touch the exposed holes on its surface. Place the strip inside the Trap in the position
shown in figure 7 below. Replace and lock the Door and remove the Key for child safety.
Reconnect power. Wash your hands after this procedure has been completed.
Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strips should be effective for up to 30 days depending on
weather conditions. Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strips are a consumable item and
replacements can be obtained from your Authorized Distributor.
NOTE: Octenol can improve the rate of capture of some mosquito species. Other species [e.g.
the Asian Tiger Mosquito], may not be attracted - or even repelled- by octenol. You should
determine what is best in your area by experimenting without the Mega-Catch Octenol
Fragrance Strip in place.
ATTENTION: Keep Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strips out of reach of children. Read
directions and Important Safety Instructions carefully before use.
